[NCUC-DISCUSS] Does ICANN really foster collaboration?

[Ayden Férdeline]

Hi Hiba,
Thanks for flagging this issue. Why are you unable to access Adobe Connect in
Sudan? What happens when you try to access the platform? Is this because Adobe
can not export products to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, and other
countries where the United States embargoes goods? Are you still able to
participate in working groups via the audio bridge?
Best wishes,
Ayden Férdeline

Hello NCUC
Referring to the last communication about the new chat tool, i want to raise
questions about whether ICANN is really fostering collaboration or advocating
for equal access.
I come from Sudan and you all know about the US sanctions issue which is
political thing and may be nothing can be done about it in this context. But i
think the least that can be done is to insure that users who have equal right to
access and participate in ICANN events as part of the brodaer community.
Curently “Adobe connect” can't be accessed in Sudan and this means eliminating a
whole community from having their voice heard. Given that, talks about access
seems very theoretical. I don't think it is hard for an organization works in
the heart of the Internet to find/ put alternatives tools that work for
everyone.

Sorry if this is not the right place to raise these concerns but i am just
speaking for Internet users in Sudan.
